Custom date/time patterns #2

Open zbraniecki opened 2 years ago

zbraniecki commented 2 years ago

One of the most common scenarios is that the user customized their date/time short/medium/long/full pattern in MacOS/Windows preferences.

The decision to use Unicode Extension Keys for conveying the information (you call it "BCP47" which is inaccurate) makes it hard to extend to this use case.

Do you have any suggestions other than 'Unicode Extension Keys' ?

I think it may be useful to return data serialized as either text/json or application/x-www-form-urlencoded, whichever is more appropriate in this context.

I do think we should stick with BCP-47 compatibile options, but I think we should spec this out in a way that non-BCP-47 options are able to be supported.
